[verse 1] I'm pushed away Then I'm pulled back There's no quid pro quo, no You're just the star of the show, oh But honey, even fairytales end When no one turns around to look back And the good guy never wins [bridge] If I handed you the gun Could I trust that you won't shoot me If I gave you my heart Could you hold it And not bring me to my knees [Chorus] You can hold me in your arms Or you can let me fall apart Playing tug of war with my heart You can pull me close Or tear me apart Playing tug of war with my heart [verse 2] Just enough to keep me wound Just enough to keep me down Just enough to keep my heart on that merry-go-round But I'm not a play This ain't the stage I've never had the script To keep acting like I'm okay I don’t do hot and cold, honey So get me out the freezer Let’s keep the heat on Let’s run the fever [Bridge] So if you’re gonna pull Pull hard and don’t let me go (Whispered) If we fall again (Whispered) Take my hand (Whispered) Hold it tight and we’ll climb out from below [Chorus] You can hold me in your arms Or you can let me fall apart Playing tug of war with my heart You can pull me close Or tear me apart Playing tug of war with my heart [post Chorus] Don’t let my love go, baby Don’t let this fall apart Come with me till the end, oh honey Stop playing tug of war (Whispered) Tug of war with my heart
